Chapter 839: Chapter 411 Hunting the Bone-Winged Horse (4000 words)

Xiang Beifei vaguely understood that this Meng Dong hunt seemed to be a conspiracy.

It’s obvious the Meat-Winged Monster deliberately wanted the humans of Changpan Valley to come out for the hunt, then they strike again, hunting humans.

Yet, he couldn’t quite grasp the reason behind the Meat-Winged Monster’s actions.

Because if the Meat-Winged Monster wanted to slaughter the humans here, it would be quite simple; the humans being kept in Changpan Valley simply cannot resist, they could rush in and capture a large number of humans easily.

But instead, they didn’t do so, rather, they went to great lengths to scare away the desolate beasts, forcing the Human Race to leave Changpan Valley for food, and then attack them.

Why does the Meat-Winged Monster have to go through such trouble?

"Every year during the Meng Dong hunt, are there many hunters who lose their lives?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"It’s not that bad, most who die are victims of the Netherworld evil spirits, it’s something unavoidable. Don’t worry too much, with our Divine Lord protecting us, we can certainly avoid the Netherworld evil spirits." Jiang Shan said.

Divine Lord?

Xiang Beifei pressed his lips tight, these people had no idea that the so-called Divine Lord was essentially the Netherworld evil spirit itself.

"Erha, Xiaohei, go and check the surroundings. Remember, if you encounter the Meat-Winged Monster, avoid engaging; protect humans first." Xiang Beifei whispered silently.

"Aowoo!"

"Woof woof!"

Xiaohei and Erha quickly left, with Youmong trotting behind Erha, eager to try its abilities.

"Follow Xiaohei."

Xiang Beifei still chose to let Xiaohei take Youmong, as Xiaohei was more reliable compared to Erha, and if Erha ran into the trees alone without taking Youmong, it would be a problem. To be safe, he even gave some bricks to Xiaohei.

Beside the hunter’s den in the forest, the group of hunters was already preparing for the hunt.

"Here, use this grass for camouflage. Odorless Grass, it can mask the scent on us."

Jiang Shan handed some green grass to Xiang Beifei, the others had already started to weave the grass into rings, wearing them around their heads, waists, and legs for simple camouflage.

Many desolate beasts have sharp senses of smell, Odorless Grass can shield the scent of humans, making it harder for desolate beasts to discover us.

Xiang Beifei also imitated their actions, although there was no necessity, but when in Rome, make himself look decent. Jiang Shan wasn’t assured, so he wrapped a bit more for him, everyone had a piece of lush green grassland on their heads.

"Shanzhu, take four people to encircle from the left. Lao Qi, you take four on the right, Jiang Song, take four to cut off retreat, use the fire fox’s blood to chase them. We intercept from the front." Jiang Shan instructed.

Jiang Shan began assigning personnel, devising a strategy for the hunt of the bone-winged horse. The bone-winged horse is relatively weak, roughly in Qi-Controlling later stage. But in truth, weak is relative, for Xiang Beifei they are nothing, but for these humans, they are still a significant threat.

The team totaled twenty-one people, divided into four groups, five in each, Jiang Shan’s side had six. In truth, they all knew, Jiang Shan with six or five made no difference, in their eyes, Xiang Beifei was just making up numbers, could be ignored.

"Remember, be careful! We’re fewer, so we’ll suffer the most, nobody can afford to be slack." Jiang Shan reminded again.

"Understood."

Everyone scattered, sneaking into the woods in groups of three or five.

"Xiao Houzi, why don’t you wait at this hunter’s den for us? Your strength is too weak, I’m worried if something happens, you won’t be attended to." Jiang Shan looked at Xiang Beifei.

"No need, a man should learn how to hunt." Xiang Beifei replied.

Jiang Shan was slightly stunned, Xiao Houzi’s words surprised him, previously Xiao Houzi never liked hunting, but today spoke such words, making him deeply touched.

"Good, now that’s my son." Jiang Shan said with satisfaction, patting Xiang Beifei’s shoulder.

The group started exploring forward, the forest was dense, overgrown with weeds, many small insect-like desolate beasts, after a couple of steps, a purple snake suddenly shot out towards them, Jiang Shan quickly drew his axe and chopped it in half.

"It’s a purple snake, the venom can be used as a weapon." Jiang Shan twisted open the snake’s jaw with a stick, pierced the venom sac with a sharp bamboo skewer, collected the venom in a small wooden tube, and continued onward.

A few horse neighs came ahead, Jiang Shan signaled everyone to slow down, began to bend over, and slowly squeezed through the branches, making as little noise as possible. Every hunter moved quietly, stealthily approaching the source of the neighs.

Through the leaves, Xiang Beifei saw on tall branches climbed over by dozens of bone-winged horses, another dozen were on the ground. Each bone-winged horse stood three to four meters tall, pure white, very large, they well-fed, with two rows of sharp bone spikes on their backs, curving like bone-formed wings.

The bone-winged horses can’t fly, they only use these wing-like bones to climb trees or cliffs nimbly, likened to spider-like legs.

These bone-winged horses formed a herd, closely counted to twenty-nine, outnumbering them. The leading large bone-winged horse had Meridian Opening stage strength! Unlike other white bone-winged horses, this one was entirely red-haired, very majestic, presumably the leader of these bone-winged horses, highly powerful.
